Application iles, May 29, 19.1.9. Serial No. 300,665.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Bc it known that l, Jouzns Krinnsnvioz, a citizen of Russia, residing at 23S Peltus St., South Amboy, county of Middlesex, and State oit bl ew Jersey, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Baby- Coach Awnings, of which the following is a specication.

This invention has as its object the provision of supports, particularly adapted to perarnbulators or baby carriages, whereby the hood or awning may be adjusted longitudinally oi the body of the vehicle, so as to cover any portion thereoil at will.

n further object is to provide means whereby the awning may be inclined at angle, all of the several adjustments being readily attained. by operating single clamp devices on each side of the carriage body.

These and other objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure and in which- Figiire 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional type of baby carriage and indicating the applications of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sideelevational view showing one ot the hood supports, and

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional viewv taken on line 3-3of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a conventional type ot baby carriage or perambulator is indicated by the numeral 10, tho same resting upon pairs of wheels 11 at the 'front and rear` and provided with a 1aised handle 12 at the rear.

Attached to the sides of the body 10 along its upper edge and near the ends thereof, are longitudinal brackets having feet 14, containing openings 15 for the reception of securing means, as the screws indicated, the outer ends of the'brackets being beveled as shown, while upon the opposite, inner ends are .raised transverse elements 16, from which project spaced pairs of lugs 17 receptive of a pair of rails or rods 1S, arranged in parallel relation and which are secured. by pins or like asten'imgg's 19, the same passing through the extended lugs of the brackets.

Mounted to 'freely slide on the rails 18 are extensions 2O of rectangular plates 21, having raised circular outer surfaces 22, contactable with sector plates 23, provided with arms 24 extending at right angles therefrom, these arms being connected by arcuate bars 25, and serve to support the angularly disposed frames 26 of the hood or cover 27.

Openings are formed in the plate 23 in which are received bushings 28, having reduced portions 29, extending into openings ornicd in the bracket plate 21. Passing through these bushings are bolts 30 having elongated rectangular heads 31 containing an opening adapted to freely slide upon the rails 18, and extending between the bars 31 and bushings 29, are the coils of compression springs 32, adapted to force the bushings normally outward.

Formed upon the outer sides of the plates 23 are elongated lugs 35, contactable with similar lugs 36 formed upon the inner surfaces of washer plates 33, normally drawn into engagement by the wing nuts 34, suited to receive the screw threads formed upon the outer extending ends of the bolts 30, thus enabling the hood or awning 37 to be secured when extended either horizontally or at an angle to the rails as may be precrred, or adjusted longitudinally thereon.

In operation when it is desired to shift the inclination of the hood, the nuts 34 are loosened from the bolt, the spring retracting the washer 33, and the hood moved into, such position as is desired. The nuts are then set up, compressing the springs 32, forcing the plate 23 tightly against the annular surface 2K2, and obviously it may be positively held in angular position by means of the engaging lugs and 36.

Having thus described my invention what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

.ln a device of the class described, the combination with a hollow body having raised side walls, of foot brackets at the ends of said body near the upper edge thereof, parallel rods extending between said brackets, other brackets slidably engaged with said rods, bolts passing through said brackets, said bolts having elongated heads containin openings engageable with said rods,- a hoo a frame therefor, plates at the converging Washers may be drawn into engagement with ends of said fra-ine, bushings passing through said vplates holding said hood in an adjusted openings in said plates,lugs on said-plates eX- position angularly and also longitudinally 10 tending outwardly, washers. hai/ing rcorrewith respect to said rods.

5 sponding lugs adapted to make Contactwith In testimony whereof I have affixed my the lugs on said plates, and clamp nuts on signature.

the threaded ends of said bolt-s whereby said JOUZAS KARASEVICZ.
